Learn More🍼New CPSC Safety Standards for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs
In December 2010, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) published a consumer product safety standard for non-full-size baby cribs (NFS cribs) pursuant to section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The Commission's mandatory standard incorporates by reference ASTM F406, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Non-Full-Size Baby Cribs/ Play Yards, with modifications that exclude sections of ASTM F406 that apply to play yards exclusively. The CPSIA sets forth a process for updating mandatory standards for durable infant or toddler products that are based on a voluntary standard, when a voluntary standards organization revises the standard. On August 1, 2024, ASTM approved a revised voluntary standard, and this direct final rule updates the mandatory standard for NFS cribs to incorporate by reference the 2024 version of ASTM F406.
Learn More✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive for Embraer Aircraft by FAA
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2006-20-08, which applies to all Embraer S.A. Model EMB-145, -145ER, - 145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP airplanes. AD 2006-20-08 requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking or failure of the rod ends and fittings of the aileron power control actuator (PCA) and corrective actions if necessary, and provides an optional terminating action. Since the FAA issued AD 2006-20-08, it has been determined that there was an error in identifying a maintenance task number. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2006-20-08 and corrects an error in a task number, as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

This AD requires repair and replacement of all affected parts, and introduces restrictions for the installation of affected parts, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference.
